Prefer the Dan Tyminski one to all of those, doc. I guess any recording of this song is a cover version.

Kate Rusby manic Monday. Doesn't do anything particularly interesting with the song. Just sings it in with her fabulous voice..... astonishing for a baaaaarnsley lass!!

Think I posted this before, but what the hell

Postmodern juke box have produced a whole raft of decent and not so decent covers.

The vocals and harmonies on wannabe are fabulous and way better than the original.....
